Transforming 404 pages into search pages #28

Open pixelastic opened 6 years ago

This has been originally posted on https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-jekyll-hyde/issues/4

When a URL tries to reach a post that does not resolve to a real page, such as http://community.algolia.com/algoliasearch-jekyll-hyde/whatever currently the visitor is shown the 404.html page. But now that we have Search, how about having JavaScript take the "whatever" and put it in the search form, and automatically issue a search?

I don't think this is something that could be part of the plugin directly, but I'd be interested into adding this to themes.

I’ve seen some pages do this (usually with something like Google) and they often replace any / in the URL with a space.

Any progress on this? @j-f1 @pixelastic
